O2 is bad.   This is exactly how it is designed to work.
THe O2 sensor does not put out much current.  The
EU has a voltage divider that keeps it at .5 volt
until the O2 drives it up or down.  Obviously there is
no output from the O2.

In just measuring the O2 sensor output when disconnected, it starts out giving voltage but when it reaches temperature, there is nothing in the way of any voltage coming out of the sensor.  When connected back up to the circuit, I still have .54 volts.  My guess is that something elsewhere (controller) has gone and is blowing the O2 sensor.
